  1. In Utorrent 2.2.1, including the latest and greatest version, I've observed these bugs: 1) When downloading multifile torrents and using .!ut extension, approximately every 8th file will not get propely renamed when it is complete. There will be another file with the proper name, but not containing the downloaded data. 2) Sporadically, uTorrent will show a torrent as stopped with status "System cannot find specified file." while the log will show "Error opening so-and-so." I assume the need to open the files comes from the flushing of files. Starting the torrent again works. 3) With windows file-caching turned off, files still do get cached by windows. This is very different from 2.0.4 where they don't. This may be related to 2), the flushing code does not seem to be stable. 1) is guaranteed to happen with a 30+ file torrent. 2) happens every 2 two to 3 days. Yes, I am absolutely certain the hardware is working correctly. ::Trym
  2. I suppose - Fix: relocating of single files ...was an attempt at fixing "my" bug #2 in build 22144, but it didn't take. Same behaviour in build 22187 as before. So a more detailed description of what happens: o Append .!ut to incomplete files is *checked*. o When using Advanced/Set Download Location, uT correctly copies the existing file(s) to the new location, *but* fails to add the .!ut extension. o uT then proceeds to download into a *new* file with the .!ut extension, throwing a hissy fit about receiving lots of bad pieces, and bans almost everybody, since of course, the correct pieces are in the other file. o When the file is finished, it is left as a .xxx.!ut file, since another file with the extension .xxx already exists and utorrent cannot rename it. o if you manually delete the first .xxx file, and rename the .xxx.!ut to .xxx, you will find the .xxx file to be incomplete, missing the pieces which were downloaded before the move. It doesn't take a genius to see that there is a single point of failure here, the code which moves the existing data simply does not check if the .!ut extension flag is set upon determining the name of the copied data-file. Should be easy to fix, good luck. ::Trym
  3. Two bugs in uTorrent 2.2 beta build 22144. 1) Well, I'm 90% certain this is a bug. This morning the power went out, and uTorrent, on startup, did not continue where it had left off, it's download list was empty. Fortunately I use the .!ut extension for files in progress, so I had to do a search and re-add those manually. I did not check the log for any messages pertaining to this, so that's why I say I'm 90% sure this is a bug. As I understand it, resume.dat is written in certain intervals, and resume.dat.old is a backup in case resume.dat gets corrupted. So uTorrent should always be able to resume where it left off. I have not done any extensive testing on this, as I'm not about to voluntarily cut power to a machine with active disks. 2) 100% bug. If you use the .!ut extension, as I do, and use the Advanced/Set Download Location, 2.2 is supposed to move the data to the new location and continue where it left off. Instead it creates *two* files, one with the regular extension, and one with .!ut. ::Trym
